C.O.P.S. provides Hands-On Programs designed specifically for each survivorship to help rebuild their shattered lives. These programs allow survivors to receive support from peers who know how they feel, attend seminar sessions specifically designed for their needs and obtain resources to help them on their journey of grief and coping. Our programs are held in a relaxed setting that is removed from the stress of everyday life and are free for survivors to attend. The only cost to the survivors is their travel to and from the program.

Thousands of people will be visiting Washington, D.C. May 10-16 to observe National Police Week and to take part in the activities. Included in this group are surviving family members and co-workers of America’s fallen law enforcement heroes.

Each year, Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) provides training to America’s law enforcement agencies on how to appropriately respond to officers and their families affected by line-of-duty trauma.

C.O.P.S. recognizes that every law enforcement officer is subjected to crisis and tragedy as a part of their job. This conference focuses on law enforcement wellness and traumas.

NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

FEDERAL LEGISLATION ON LOWERING FLAG TO HALF-STAFF ON MAY 15TH

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed Public law 87-726 designating May 15th as Peace Officers’ Memorial Day, and the week in which may 15 falls as National Police Week. The law was amended by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Public Law 103-322, signed by President Bill Clinton, directing that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff on all government buildings on May 15th each year. While the actual dates change from year to year, National Police Week is always the calendar week, beginning on Sunday, which includes May 15th.
